To discuss which part of the movie market in 2019 is the biggest, "The Wandering Earth" must give "Nezha" three points. The
movie has been released for nearly three months, and its reputation has been stable at 8.5. This is a boost from domestic animation after "The Return of the Great Sage".
At present, "Nezha" has reached nearly 5 billion in the box office, surpassing the US$600 million in The Incredibles 2 box office in the United States, and has become the highest grossing cartoon in the global single market. This time it has achieved a "global record" , But it's worth a while.
In addition to a good box office harvest, "Ne Zha" was sent out to participate in the Oscar competition a while ago, but it is unknown whether a good film recognized by the Chinese can be recognized by foreign friends. Recently, it was reported that "Ne Zha" had passed the preliminary review of the best animated film Oscar. Netizens applauded and left messages "Congratulations".
Some netizens also told the truth, saying that as long as they meet the application requirements, they can be shortlisted for the preliminary review, which does not mean that the film has been recognized.
Although domestic animation has made progress, there is still a gap compared with foreign countries. It is basically impossible to win prizes. The most important thing about
is that foreign judges and audiences do not understand Nezha, the mythical figure, and do not have a "filter" for the movie, so they do not have so many heroic feelings when watching movies.
is like people who never watch Marvel, suddenly they watch "Avengers 4", they will not understand why the sacrifice of Iron Man will cause the Marvel fans to cry. This is the cultural difference, which leads to a completely different experience of watching movies. In addition to disagreements about the film itself, the Oscar, as a world award, is not as inclusive as Cannes and Berlin.
Looking through the list of Oscar winners in recent years, you will find that you can hardly see the shadow of Asian films. Last year, it was "The Thief Family" directed by Hirokazu Edema.
will be pushed forward a few times and you will find that Asian films have not even been nominated. They all say that "the nomination is affirmed", and the "preliminary review" and "nomination" of Nezha are completely two concepts.
Everyone attaches so much importance to the Oscars, of course, because of the high level of movies it represents. There is nothing wrong with wanting to use its influence to advertise itself, but the eyes are always fixed on it and make self-judgment based on its decisions. Xiao 8 feels that this is really unnecessary.
Although we always say that art has no borders, the aesthetic differences caused by different cultural backgrounds in each country and region cannot be ignored.
The popular and popular "Nezha" has once again ignited the public's enthusiasm for the national comics, and I believe that more excellent animation works will appear in the future. We need to learn a lot, but it is certainly equally important to Guoman.
As for the performance of "Nezha" at the Oscars, it is not that important. The judgement of foreign friends cannot negate its success. I still hope that Zha'er's "parents" (production team) can guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to create more excellent Chinese comic movies~
